Oracle Linux: CVE-2024-26855: ELSA-2024-5928: kernel security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ice: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in ice_bridge_setlink()
The function ice_bridge_setlink() may encounter a NULL pointer dereference
if nlmsg_find_attr() returns NULL and br_spec is dereferenced subsequently
in nla_for_each_nested(). To address this issue, add a check to ensure that
br_spec is not NULL before proceeding with the nested attribute iteration.
A vulnerability was found in the ice_bridge_setlink() function in the Linux kernel. A missing check to verify whether the nlmsg_find_attr() function returns NULL or not could lead to a NULL pointer dereference, system instability, or crashes.
